What is Forestry? :
Forestry is essentially the study of being able to identify trees based on their certain traits.
What will we need to know for Forestry? : Memorize the tree list, and look at the other packets to help you remember. It can all be found on the SO site http://soinc.org/forestry_c
Am I underqualified? :
Yes, unless you took courses on memorizing families of trees, which 1 out of 9000 times, you definitely did not.
How to study for qualifying tests:
If you didn't get the memo, yes we are trying to enact qualifying tests in order to get onto the team. As much as we would love to take every single person and put them into every event, there is sadly a limit, meaning that only the best will be able to go for their events. These 'practice' exams, if you will, are going to be administered semi-frequently, and with them we hope to be able to gauge your ability in each event. The materials that you should study will be outlined in emails that are sent out to those who signed up for said events!! Forestry Test: coming sooner-ish
How to study for the actual competition:
Don't cram, or if you must, start doing it at least 2 weeks prior. Running through the power points that are on the site should help you plenty
